Anti wrinkle treatments using injections for wrinkles with Botulinum Toxin takes from 2 to 14 days to
become effective. This is dependent on the strength of the muscles injected and
the individual response.

Treatment with Botulinum Toxin is
temporary and to maintain the effects, treatment is recommended every 3 to 6
months.

One of the benefits of anti wrinkle treatments is that the result is temporary. This means you can decide if you like the result and then repeat the treatment every 3 month or more intermittently if you wish. Some people will have the treatment done for special occasions and others will maintain treatment every 3 months and consider it part of a regular regime, such as going for a hair cut.

If regular anti wrinkle treatments are undertaken for approximately a year the effects of treatment may begin to last longer,increasing from 3 months up to 6 months.

Any bumps or
marks caused by the injections should disappear within a few hours of
treatment.
